hi i Have a problem with my washing machine waste connector or rather the plumbing assosicated with it basicly my washing machine waste pipe goes into the upright stand pipe and then into the outside drainage however of recently the "U" bend has started leaking i have tried ptfe tape on the U Bend joints i have tried making the washer more secure by using ptfe tape yet it still leaks their is no blockages that i can find how best can i fix this problem i have a few pictures of the pipe work i am dealing with its made up of pushfit and solvents :S
I better just say i am not a plumber but am willing to try anything as my kitchen cupboard really can't take much more water LOL.
and the last picture shows the bend it is leaking from any ideas surgesstions are more then welcome they are really needed thanks. i thought of using a trap with a washing machine connector or just replacing a bend not sure which is best or if their are any other idea's?
